Alibi Montana

Born in 1977, French rap artist Alibi Montana was probably more well known for the scandals he initiated and his prison time than for his musical works. In 1999, Montana released his first album, T'as Ma Parole (Got My Word), and that was followed up three years later with Mandat Dépôt (Warrant Of). His next record, entitled 1260 Jours (1260 Days) and released in 2004, was an exposé of his time in prison for attempted homicide -- the title refers to length of his stint in Villepinte Prison.
